How to Date a Black Woman

Source: Tips of Divorce. Once, I was at a bar with friends when two white men approached me. One was a guy who was interested in talking to me, and the other was acting as his wingman. While white men are not the only group to hold racial biases and stereotypes against black women, they tend to be the least informed on the racialized and gendered issues that black women endure. White men navigate society with relative ease while black women are teetering on the precarious margins of race and gender that they do not have the privilege to ignore. Our race and gender affects the way we carry ourselves, and this uncomfortable mindfulness is something that white men simply cannot relate to. A white man must be willing to work toward a better understanding of how race and gender intersect differently for everyone, and he must also be prepared to speak out against the injustices that their partners will endure. And while of course the topic of race should be an ongoing conversation with your significant other, things would go a lot smoother if men — and in this case, white men — were able to identify and prevent racial tension from the very beginning. To be blunt: White guys, you often approach black women in a harmful way. Most white men are unaware of the microaggressions towards their black partner that make their chances for a second date slim to none.

I Am a 22-year-old Black Woman With No Dating Experience

Dating is an incredibly nuanced art that requires consideration, calm and thoughtfulness from the people involved. If you have never been a part of an interracial coupling or have never dated a strong black woman before, then there are certain things you need to be aware of that will alter your dating method. It is good to be considerate of your partner, especially in America where discrimination against the black community and other minorities is still rife but going overboard will put you in a negative light. Relax, talk to her like a normal human being and think before you speak.
